APC end nearer than expected, says PDP chairman

The Peoples Democratic Party has said that the days of the All Progressives Congress as a ruling party would soon come to an end.
The National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, who spoke with our correspondent in Abuja on Thursday, said, “We knew all along that the APC is an enterprise. It was formed to merely snatch power without a concrete plan on how to utilise it. The division within its rank is an indication that the ruling party will even die before its time.
“We knew all along that the party was destined to die. It was meant to get power at all costs without adequate preparation on how to utilise it.
“So, the fight within its inner caucus shows that the APC is dead. It will be buried in 2019 with the electoral defeat of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
Asked if the PDP was prepared to accept the angry members of the ruling party, Secondus added that “they will join others in our party to vie for any political office of their choice. No restriction as we will give them waivers.”
In Kwara State, the factional chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Mr. Bashir Bolarinwa, said the R-APC was formed allegedly by power mongers.
Bolarinwa, whose faction is loyal to President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, spoke during a media briefing in Ilorin.
A pro-Buhari/Ganduje group, on Thursday in Kano, vowed to garner not less than five million votes for Buhari during the 2019 general elections.
[Briefing newsmen in Kano, leader of the group, under the aegis of “Ranar Wankar Buhari /Ganduje”, dismissed the R-APC as no threat.
